My bill is considerably higher, what is the cause of this?

High bills are usually the result of:

Malfunctioning toilets (consistently running/ not shutting off; water level is set too high).

Leaky faucets

Malfunctioning automatic trap fillers

A change within the household such as new tenants, more people or visitors

New appliances such as a water-cooled air conditioner, dishwasher, hot water tank, heating system or lawn sprinkler system

All Water passing through the meter shall be charged for whether used or wasted.
Leaks cost you money:

1/16" A continuous leak creating a stream of water this size would waste 93 m³ of water.

1/8" A continuous leak creating a stream of water this size would waste 372 m³ of water.

1/4" A continuous leak creating a stream of water this size would waste 1491 m³ of water.

If you are aware of any type of water leak in your house you should repair it immediately because it could save you money.
